Aaron Rodgers calls Thomas Davis a 'repeat offender'

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis has had some great moments in his career. He’s also had some regrettable ones, mostly in the form of nasty helmet-to-helmet collisions on the field.

The latest chapter in this sad history was on Sunday in Carolina’s 31-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers, a win that inched the Panthers closer to a playoff spot at 10-4.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, in his first game back from a broken collarbone, threw a third-quarter interception to Panthers safety Colin Jones. On the return, Davis delivered a blindside block to Packers receiver Davante Adams, a hit that drew a flag and sent Adams to the sideline and into the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Rodgers was not pleased with Davis’ actions. Per the Charlotte Observer, when asked after the game, Rodgers had this to say about the hit and Davis:

He’s a repeat offender, so I’m sure the league will deal with him. I think it was an unnecessary hit. Unfortunately, if I throw a better ball, it doesn’t happen.

The NFL is reviewing the play and Davis is facing a possible one-game suspension for his actions.

Davis was fined almost $50,000 last month for a similar hit on Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries.
